Shane Earle
1972 – 2026
Waterford, MI

Shane David Earle, son of Patricia (Patty) Wilson and Gregory (Greg) Earle, was born on Elgin Airforce Base in Florida on December 19th, 2026.  Not long after he was born, his family moved to Westland, Michigan where Shane went to school and his brother Chad was born(?).  Cancer took Patty from the family December 20th 1989.  Greg then moved the boys to White Lake, Michigan. Shane went straight to work after graduating from xxxxxx high school. He has told stories about riding his bike to work at the gas station on xxxxx and xxxxxx. He matured his work experience (ha ha) with a motley crew of friends and Chad doing lawn care. So many stories come from those days as well as their snowmobiling escapades! They usually had to do with bodily functions, things they saw and could bond over making fun, and competing whether is was who had the best lawn mowing lines or who got to the bar fastest in the UP.
Shane later worked for a moving company where a sand molded light fixture vibrated in to a pile of sand even after being carefully packaged for the cross country trip. He also told stories about double parking in New York City to move someone. He was not a fan of cities and traffic.
Shane had been married twice, first to Alison ??? And second to Melissa W???shane is survived by his two boys from his second marriage, Ryker William Earle, born on January 24, 2013, and Barrett Easton Earle, born November 6, 2015.  Ryker was the Apple of both Shane and Puppa (Greg). Ryker-Roo has his dad’s brilliant mind and sensitivity to spirit and people. On November 6, 2017 Barrett Easton Earle was born. Shane and Melissa had been seeking marriage counseling around the time of his birth and by the end of 2018, their marriage ended. It was decided that Melissa would get the family home and anything she wanted as long as she remained his dad’s neighbor. Shane would move back to his dad’s and the kids could see them both.
It didn’t take long, since it wasn’t included in the divorce agreement, for Melissa to sell everything and move closer to her boyfriend and a few years later, remarried and moved even further away from Shane.  It was about this time I entered the picture and Shane and I tried to create a loving home with Ryker and Barrett. When Melissa moved the second time even farther away after getting married, Shane and moved from Auburn hills to Waterford to have a house with some property, a room for each son, and be closer to Brighton.

is a father, brother, boyfriend, and friend. Shane is known for being present and genuine to all he loved, and even some he didn’t!
